CarComplaints.com Notes: The Freestar was introduced in 2004, but it was essentially just a rebranded Windstar. While there was a redesign of the interior and exterior, the Freestar still inherited some of the design flaws of its predecessor.

They said that we have to pay for the repairs cost and when the recall letter is out they can refund our money back. Also note we purchase the van in 2004 and we have not received any recalls.
